Urg... it's the worst when it's coming from family. My mom is awsome about pretty much anything, she said "It's your decision, as long as you aren't hurting anyone," and I was all, "Mom! That's almost exactly like the rede!" xd But I think if I told my grandmother she'd have a heart attack, literally. She's the one who made me get my communion when I was younger. I'm not even going to go into my dad, though. I hope you can find a way to deal with your family, the sooner the better.

I couldn't agree more with Artemis. You have to be honest with your dad. Tell him that it hurts your feeling with his words. If you remain scilent it turns into a virus that is very hard to overcome. Next time you have something important in your life you might not share it with him and then on and on till allyou have is "Good morning, yeah I'm fine. See-ya." It really should be your Dad that keeps the lines of comm. open though, but you know those old school men, " Keep your feelings inside, never cry, and no news is good news." But but a good 21st century kid and go hug him and tell him how you feel. if you get no responce that at least you know you tried, nd most importantly, DON"T GIVE UP! We all know that pagans are peaceful and nature loving people. to harm or cast banefull spells is to commit ourselves to a life of heartache and woe. remeber "All that you do good or bane, will return to you 3 fold." Karma is real and does play an important part of EVERYONES life. Whether they believe it or not.

It's not really like that. He doesn't live with me and my mom and brother. When I used to go to his apartment, I would have to sleep on the couch, and he would barely feed us except to keep us from callin the cops on him. The only thing is, my mom is so busy trying to earn money to buy things like, I dunno, food, and heat, for me and my bro, she doesn't have the time or money to get a lawyer to actually divorce the jerk. scream gonk
I'm just glad that now that I'm 16, my mom says that I don't have to go to his house anymore. The thing is, I've been making excuses not to, because I know him, and if I tell him off, he'll stop helping mom pay for things, as little as he does that already. He's very spiteful. I'm very grateful for the threefold rule when it comes to him. twisted

Gah, that's so stupid.
A friend of mine is Wiccan, and when people at school found out, they said, "You're going to hell for that!"
She just laughed and said, "It's your hell... Go burn in it yourself." =] Triumph #1. I'm not ready to let anyone know though, except my best-best friends.

I love being able to use loopholes to contradict them when they're being especially... cruel.
It's probably best to keep it to yourself, I came out of the proverbial 'broom closet' way before I should have. xp

I know... it seems hard, but things are... peaceful if the most. He never talks to me about anything important. But one thing hit me today... I'm lonely. There's no one to talk to here that *truly* understands, and I'm in desperate need of a relationship. I've been in with girls, so I want to try one with a guy. But still... it hurts... this emptiness...

I am so out of the closet, I am in the front yard! lol I wear a pentacle on a chain around my neck and I never take it off. If I am being particularly open, I own a pair of earrings that match it, though I almost never wear earrings at all anymore. Let me share a little something with all of you who are nervous about being open about it....
Many years ago, I decided to tell my parents (Baptist folks) about what I believed because I was sick of trying to hide it from them. Keep in mind, by this time, I was already an adult and living on my own. Well, of course, the first thing they did was run to their minister and inquire about how to save my soul.
The minister gave them the advice that "If that is what she does, then you can't have anything to do with her or your own souls will not go to heaven." So, my mom told me that her and dad didn't know what to do and were considering not speaking to me again.
Now, I'm pretty close with my folks, and my dad is my absolute hero (even at my age). So, I was hurt and upset. But, I told my parents that, if that was what they chose to do, I would be very sorry to lose their comfort and love but that I had chosen my life and would not ask them to be a part of it, only to accept me as I am.
After about a year of strained communication, they had time to observe how I was behaving and the changes that I had made within myself and my life. Now we are as close as ever and everyone accepts each other for who and what they are. We have each attended the others services on occasion (my father plays in the church band and I like to go hear him play his horn).
So, my advice to all of you is to be sure in your faith and steadfast in your beliefs. Any belief you have, or profess to have, to please another person is a lie and will not serve you well in your life.

True that Rev. so well spoken and so insightfull. Thank you. Be true to yourself and the truth will set you free. And besides, The Goddess has never ever ever steered me wrong. Not once. My life and soul I have devoted to her whole heartedly and she has granted me such a rich life. Peace, Prosperity, Health, Happiness, love and laughter. A beautifull wife and two awsome kids. My Mom is a deacon in a Roman Catholic church and has never critisised me for my decisions ( just lucky I guess ). Not once in my life have I ever regreted the past ( except for starting cigarettes, a life long battle to quit ). I Too am very out of the broom closet blaugh I wear a silver penticle the size of a 50 cent piece ( no not the rapper ) and keep it tucked in my shirt but it has occasionaly fallen out at times and I get the strangest looks, I think its funny though that people are still so .........I'll just say superstitious ( ignorant ) ooops did I type that out loud. blaugh

I'd like anyones opinion who is willing to give it. Okay, my boyfriend's a MAJOR Christain. He knows I'm Wiccan but I think it scares him... do you thnik I should try to explain that I don't worship the devil or pray for people's death like his church believes? I wouldn't ask for others opinions but I've thought about it alot lately. I really like him and I just feel our religions should be understood if we want to stay together...Should it be?(Sorry if you think I should just deal with this myself sweatdrop but I had to at least ask...)

Just tell him exactly what it is you believe. I know it can be hard sometimes, believe me, but I think it's best to get things out in the open, especially something so close to your heart. How he personally interprets his own beliefs can be a major factor as well, some Christians tend to believe we are unwitting servants of satan, so even if you say you don't do such things, he might still think so. Some of my... erm... people I used to be friends with were like that, constant with the whole "Jesus still loves you" and "I'll pray for you" things, though I suppose it was better than the "you're goin' to hell" thing... sweatdrop If you trust him, and he trusts you, everything should be fine! I hope things go well for you, and he's more accepting than the people I know. Good luck, hun!

So then, my biggest complaint is that I am solitary and people even other Wiccans do not take me seriously because I am a solitary and not part of the Gardner Tradition.
